Does the thought of going to the dentist make your entire body tense with fear? Don’t worry, we can help.

Dental anxiety is extremely common. In fact, 75% of U.S. adults suffer from dental anxiety and 10% have dental phobia. But just because dental anxiety is common means that it doesn’t have an adverse effect on your oral health. Ignoring oral health problems because you don’t want to go to the dentist only lets these issues get worse, which means that more invasive treatments may be needed. Not to mention, poor oral health can also lead to many general health complications such as heart disease, digestive issues, diabetes, and more.
